Lost Italian tourist rescued after night in Phuket jungle

[Old Curmudgeon]

"Chaang" in Thai language means "handyman".

This post asks where to advertise for a “chaang farang”, an expat handyman?

 

This is a delicate topic:
Not illegal for me to hire, but illegal for my fellow farang to do casual work.
Work permit simply impossible.
So, shhhh! 

Don’t tell anyone about this!

 

I am not advertising here.
Only asking where to advertise in Chiang Mai.
Is there some “classified ad” bulletin board for such as this?

 

Looking to hire a handyman for small, projects around the house.
If you’ve had any experience with local handymen, you’ll understand  why I’m seeking a farang to do this work.

 

Language is not the problem.
My Thai ability is enough to be understood for most needs.
The problem is finding good workmanship.
It’s not that locals are lazy.
They are willing enough.
But they have no concept of what constitutes careful work.

 

Examples of projects that I will put in the ad:

• drill 4 holes and and use wall anchors to mount winding reel for garden hose
• climb a ladder to remove solar light for battery replacement, then put it back up again.
• replace faucets in kitchen and bathroom sinks.
• extend electrical cord for kitchen fan.
• set up a small water fountain in front yard.
• set up “drip” irrigation system for outside plants.

 

There’s more, but that’s enough for the purpose of this post.

Where to post an advertisement for this purpose??

 

Thank you.
